Chapter 244 I Have to Visit Him

Yacob walked toward the bed. When he saw the man’s back that was covered in blood

stains, he had the urge to touch it.

As soon as he extended his hand, Elias warned grimly. “If you dare touch it, I’ll cut off your

hand!” Yacob immediately retracted his hand and caught sight of Elias opening his eyes.

He looked like a beast whose sleep had been interrupted with displeasure written all over

his face.

Then, Yacob coughed and said, “I’ll be heading out now. Grace is in the police station and

under investigation. I suppose she’ll be staying in the police station for a while. After all,

she committed assault.”

Then, he observed Elias’ expression for a moment before continuing, “Mr. Winters, it

depends on whether you press charges against her. If you do, she’ll stay in the police

station. If you don’t, she’ll be released.”

He had a feeling that Elias would go easy on the nasty woman for Kennedy’s sake.

Elias treasured his friends, but they couldn’t cross the line. Otherwise, they would be

doomed.

Amanda and Aiden were the most important people to Elias. He would never allow anyone

to harm them. After a moment of silence, Elias said solemnly, “Release the woman and

send her somewhere else. I don’t want to see her again.”

“Alright, I see you’ve decided to go easy on her.” Yacob knew Elias would make such a

decision.

Grace should be grateful that she had a wonderful brother. Otherwise, Elias would’ve

destroyed her long ago. However, she was too naive to think that Elias had been conniving

at her wrongdoings because he loved her.

The next morning, Yacob went to the police station and bailed Grace out, ready to send

her away from Imperia.

At present, Grace was mentally unstable. She believed that everyone was trying to harm

her. When the police questioned her, she almost got into a fight with them.

“This is the last time Mr. Winters lets you off, so you’d better behave yourself from now

on. You can’t blame anyone for what happened to you. It’s all your fault, Yacob said

impassively.

Grace was walking dazedly behind him when she heard that, and she flared up instantly.

“Shut up! What right do you have to lecture me? When Elias was deeply in love with me

back then, he would do anything to please me. At that time, you had to obey my orders.

Even though I’ve lost his favor, it doesn’t mean you can mock me. You don’t have the right

to do that. You’re just Elias’ lackey!”

Yacob frowned, thinking Grace was mad and would target anyone.

“Mr. Winters has never been in love with you. I’ve been meaning to tell you that Mr.

Winters has repeatedly let you off for your brother’s sake. You could’ve relied on your

brother and lived the rest of your life without any worries. However, you stubbornly

wanted to marry Mr. Winters. To be honest, you’re too greedy. You crave things you can

never get.”

Yacob had been putting up with her for a long time. In the past, Grace believed that Elias

doted on her, so

she was arrogant and treated Yacob harshly.

Since the woman had fallen from grace, he could finally vent his anger.

Devastated by his words, Grace snapped. That’s impossible! Elias loves me, and it’s not

just because of my brother. Whenever he looks at me, I can tell there’s love behind his

gaze!”

She felt Elias had nothing but love whenever he looked at her, so it was impossible that it

was all because of her brother.

Yacob decided to deal another blow to her. “Come on. Every woman thinks Mr. Winters

looks lovingly at them. It’s all in your mind.”

“Stop spouting nonsense! That’s impossible!”

“That’s enough. Let’s go right now. I don’t want to waste any more time on you.”

Yacob stuffed the woman into the car and found the entire conversation laughable. It was

ridiculous that he even tried to argue with a lunatic.

“Where are you taking me?” Grace asked.

Yacob got into the driver’s seat and closed the door. I’m taking you to a place where you

won’t see Mr. Winters forever. That’s because he doesn’t want to see you anymore.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Grace tried to get out of the car, but the doors had been

locked.

“Let me go! I want to get out of this car! I’m not going anywhere. You don’t have the right

to send me somewhere else. I’ll stay right in this city!”

“You’d better stop making a scene, Grace! It’s different now. Mr. Winters won’t protect you

again. If you keep making a fuss, no one will help you, and you’ll end up on the streets.

You used to be a beautiful celebrity, but you’re just a woman with a scarred face now. If

you don’t mind the reporters harassing you while you sleep on the streets, carry on with

your tantrum.”

Grace instantly fell silent and subconsciously touched her face.

If Elias refused to help her, the reporters would destroy her by taking photos of her

deformed face and reporting on her miserable life. By then, everyone in the country would

find out she was in such a terrible

state.

She felt that she would truly go mad simply by imagining what would happen to her.

As such, she stopped making a fuss and remained silent in the car.

In their home in Northern No. 1, Aiden appeared aggrieved and said with a pout, “Miss

Selina, why didn’t Daddy pick me up today? He promised he’d pick me up from school

every day.”

Selina had no idea how to explain it to him, so she could only say, “Perhaps your daddy is

swamped with work. You know, he has a business to run.”

Just then, Amanda left the bedroom. She had changed into a dress and put on some

makeup, looking like she was going on a date.

Selina asked, “Are you heading out, Amanda?”

“Yeah. Since I’m going to start my own law firm, I have to attend some cocktail parties and

get to know some big shots so that I’ll secure more clients. Since I’m on my own now, I

have to work harder.”

“Can I come, Mommy?” Aiden dashed forward and wrapped his arms around his mother’s

legs.

Amanda bent over and cupped the young boy’s face. “No, kids are not allowed to enter. I’ll

take you to such parties when you grow up, alright?”

“Hmph!” Aiden released her. “Get Daddy to come over and pick me up, then. I want him to

go out with me. He promised he’d pick me up from school every day, but he didn’t come

today. He’s such a liar.”

Amanda was startled, not knowing if she should tell the child about it.

After giving it some thought, she decided to tell him the truth.

She crouched down and glanced at the child, who looked like the mini version of his father.

“Alright, I’ll be honest with you. Your dad is injured, so he’s in the hospital now. That’s why

he can’t pick you up from school.”

Aiden’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Is Daddy in the hospital? How did he even get injured? I

have to visit him!”

Amanda was rendered speechless, thinking that Aiden truly loved his father.

She said, “Let’s visit him tomorrow. He needs more rest since his injury is quite serious. I’ll

take you to the hospital tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Aiden appeared unhappy, but he could only agree to it.

When Amanda arrived at the cocktail party, she took the initiative to talk to the big shots

so that she could secure more clients for her law firm..

Since she wanted to make her law firm successful, she had to do everything herself.
